Notes

• Hex damage is applied multiple times for multiple successful Attack Rolls. Example scenarios:
  • Warlock hits the target with a melee or ranged weapon attack: additional 1d6Necrotic.
  • Level 1 Warlock casts Eldritch Blast and hits the target: additional 1d6Necrotic.
  • Level 5 Warlock casts Eldritch Blast and hits the target with both rays: additional 2d6Necrotic, for hitting twice.
  • Level 3 Warlock casts Scorching Ray and hits the target with all three rays: additional 3d6Necrotic, for hitting three times.
  • Level 5 Warlock casts Scorching Ray and hits the target with all four rays: additional 4d6Necrotic, for hitting four times.
• Hex is only triggered by hitting the target with a successful Attack Roll, and not by other sources of damage. Example scenarios:
  • Warlock casts Magic Missile (which always hits): no additional damage from Hex.
  • Warlock casts Fireball (which is a Saving Throw, not an Attack Roll): no additional damage from Hex.
• In Early Access Patch 9, there is a bugged interaction between Hex and the Eldritch Invocation Agonizing Blast, which causes Hex damage to be triggered by each instance of Agonizing Blast bonus damage.
